My Dad Is Gone

My heart aches for you more each day
I wish life could have gone another way
I knew you were ill but still holding on
Someday I will accept you are really gone

I stare at your obituary posting and just cry
It was just Christmas and now it’s goodbye
I know you were suffering and now at peace
Saddened our celebrations are forever ceased

I will hold on to my precious memories of you
It’s the only thing to heal my pain that I can do
I hope I will be able to see you again someday
I miss you so much Dad since God took you away

- There was no celebration of Christmas for us this Christmas ... death was so near - Your words could be mine ... it is painful, Tania - May both you and my father rest in peace ... - It is so strange ... I've found so many little feathers after my dad died ... I find them in places like inside my cell phone ... or they suddenly lie in front of me ... - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

So sorry for your loss Tania, time eases the pain but you always keep them In your heart and mind. The only consolation I found when my father passed away was that he was free from suffering. Tom.
